Chain Length ?

[MR Felt]

I went up two teeth in the rear and I'm cutting the new chain. If I leave it at the length I have it now it puts it almost as far back as the adjusters go. If I take out another link it puts the axle all the way forward. It seems like taking another link out will be ok. Chain stretch? It is that EK ZZZ chain, it's not going to stretch much since I commute the majority of the time. I decided to quit for the night. I usually make the wrong decisions when I am tired and pushing a long day. So what do you think?

With the master link in and chain connected?
Sometimes you have to get out the big crayon for me.

Keep the chain stock length, you'll have plenty of slack for adjustment witht the +2.

How many pins are in the chain with the extra link and without?
